Greenwood to be banned? : Mon Jun 29, 2015 3:02 pm  

Charged with a Grade C for his tackle on Brown. This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Greenwood rolls due to momentum, but doesn't twist the ankle. Brown moans because his ankle was already injured at that point. Crazy stuff.

Also on the daft list is the Grade C against Ben Currie for touching the ref. That's literally all he did.

Didn't he do it twice though?

I agree, he wasn't even looking and then lets go before he completes his roll.

Never saw it on the day. Just seen the replay and I had to check twice.

It's a nothing allegation.

Momentum rolled him over.

Nothing to see here.

What possible reason would Currie have for laying hands on the official ?

If it was the bit I saw there was nothing to it. I can understand bans for grabbing a ref aggressively, but not that.

He's pleaded guilty and got a two match ban.

The game is going mad.

James Green of Hull KR got a 1 game ban for an off the ball shoulder charge to the head of Travis Burns.

A few weeks later they are giving 2 game bans for touching the ref and tackling someone round the ankles!

Touching the ref has always had seriousness attached to it over and above player injuries.

Players sign on and get paid to take risks.

Refs don't.

We've always had a respect for refs from players over that given in football.
We need to keep those standards.
